– The effect of the basic arithmetic operators (/, *, –, +) and the mathematical
functions is described in Table 5-2.
Products of numbers and constants may be entered in abbreviated form, e.g.
2e for 2*e.
– The Clear, Del, Back buttons are used to correct faulty entries.
– Check performs a consistency check of the displayed mathematical expression
and displays a message.
●
"Operands" contains all data traces and memory traces of the active recall set.
– Data and memory traces are identified by their trace names.
– "Data" denotes the active data trace.
– "Mem" is the memory trace associated with the active data trace (or the first
created one, if several memory traces are associated with the active data
trace).
– "StimVal" is the array of stimulus values; see footnote for Table 5-2.
The trace operands denote unmodified data and memory traces. Trace math and
other trace functions ("Smoothing", "Hold", "Shift Trace" etc.) are not taken into
account.

round x real ⇒ round(x) rounds x to the closest integer (away from zero for
ties)

Re, Im x, y (Real and Imag)
log, ln Common (base 10) or natural (base e) logarithm
Min, Max Smaller or larger values of all points of two traces, e.g.
Min(Trc1,Trc2)
StimVal *) Stimulus value*)
tan, atan, sin, asin, cos, acos Direct and inverse trigonometric functions.
*) The operand "StimVal" can be used for all sweep types. Please note that – as with
all user math operands – only the numerical value without unit is processed in the user
math formula.
●
In frequency sweeps "StimVal" provides the stimulus frequency in Hz.
●
In power sweeps, "StimVal" provides the voltage in V that results from the source
power in dBm. To obtain the correct source power in dBm (for "dB Mag" trace for-
mat), Result is Wave Quantity must be enabled. Note that, due to the conversion
into a dBm value, the source power depends on the reference impedance of the
port associated with the measured wave quantity, to be set in the "Balanced Ports"
dialog.
